Why wear fitness shoes?
Studies carried out at our Sportslab have shown that fitness and other sports involve a whole host of different movements. Movements like twists, repeated jumps, squats, lunges, etc. Our shoes are designed to help you perform these movements without risking an injury. Wearing suitable shoes reduces the risk of injury by 20% when compared with people who wear running shoes.
3 years of research and listening to user feedback
Our ingenious designs come about because of our fitness users' feedback. Damien is a product manager: "Grip, cushioning, propulsion, rotation, flexibility and support were all things our users wanted, but from a technical point of view it's not easy to achieve them. We had to make a link between the desired feeling and the technical requirements. We created 100 different pairs and tested them all. Today, we're super proud to have reinvented fitness shoes!"
Used to wearing high heels?
If that's the case for you, it's normal to take a little time to adapt to your new fitness shoes. This is because of their 4 mm drop, which is close to your foot's natural position.
Have you heard of drop? It's the height difference between the front and back of your foot.
A 3-part sole
An outsole made with rubber for grip, a KalensoleⓇ EVA foam midsole for cushioning, and an insole combining PebaxⓇ thermoplastic elastomer and a polyurethane layer for propulsion all to give you a shoe with perfect rebound.
The bonus is no marks on the floor.
Our sole has been designed to leave no marks on the floor.
Multidirectional flexibility
"The multidirectional flexibility refers to how well a shoe flexes and twists to support direction changes.
Studies have shown that we need 1.7 times more flex and extension during fitness activities than during running. The ankle's movement also varies depending on the kind of fitness or running you do. That's why we've created multidirectional shoes specifically for fitness."
Forefoot support
"Why is it important?
Good forefoot support - a must for fitness - helps you stay balanced when you go to change direction."
Forefoot cushioning
"Cushioning is the ability of the shoe to cushion impacts and dampen vibrations.
The main point of impact between the foot and the floor during fitness activities is at the forefoot, whereas for running the impact is at the heel. We design our shoes with excellent cushioning at the forefoot to protect your body from repeated impacts while also stabilizing your supporting leg to help you string movements together more smoothly.
